    DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

    I've had the ST Max for free the last several years. I watched the RZC 99.9% of the time and the ST was strictly for friends and family to watch their out of market teams. It is too bad they do not have an option for those people who only want to watch their out of market team play.

    directv 4k

    I was able to get $45/12, free ST MAX, most of the premiums and sports pack free from 4-12 months along with the genie swap. Shockingly, none of that required any commitment as it normally did before. In time maybe they won't require a two year commitment for 4K but that's impossible to know...

    directv 4k

    I need some advice on how I should proceed. I had a HR-34 since 2012 and recently requested to have my Genie exchanged without a commitment. I was told I'd receive either a HR-44 or HR-54. As I expected, I got the HR-44. Here is my dilemma, I have two 4K OLED tv's and would like to access the...

    Did they make you extend your contract for getting ST Max and $10 off for 2 years?

    DirecTV offers to customers who complain about dropped Viacom channels

    I got Showtime free for six months and $5 off for three months. I then asked about a discount for the ST Maxx and was sent over to Retentions which gave it to me for half off. Can't complain since my contract ends in a few months and I didn't have to renew it.

    Attention current NFL ST Subs! - Discounts.

    I have been a subscriber for 10 months. The best I could get was $120 for the Sunday Ticket and no discount on the To Go. I called retentions a few times but everytime they had documented when I previously called and what was offered to me. They said I am already getting a lot of credits and...

    Attention current NFL ST Subs! - Discounts.

    I am a new customer (9 months) and called a few times to get a discount on the Sunday Ticket. Two weeks ago I called and was told there were no discounts. Read the forum and got to retentions last week. The best they could offer me was $120 without the To Go. Called back a few days later and...

    Dish Launches Big 10 Network

    First of all, it's completely disigenous for BTN to use the word "FREE" here. Nothing about this is "FREE".

    Dish Launches Big 10 Network

    I agree, and as for the Michigan-App State game. There have been a few UofM games that haven't been televised. If there was no BTN, that might not have been televised. It was a Div 1-AA team for crying out loud. Fortunately, it didn't matter to me. :):)I WAS ACTUALLY AT THE GAME!!!!!!!:):)

    Dish Launches Big 10 Network

    Clearly, that's not the case. BTN wouldn't allow it. No other league would allow it either. If sports were all forced on PPV, players salaries would be chopped in half.

    Dish Launches Big 10 Network

    Exactly, that's why this isn't a good thing. This was the firewall. This was the line that had to be held. Now the precedent has been set. That's what this was about, precedent. You should've thought of these things when you were demanding BTN. You were also demanding a 25 cents for the...

    Dish Launches Big 10 Network

    It's the difference between a $1-$2 rate hike and a $3-$4 rake hike, and plenty of people get their panties in a twist over that come Feb, not just me.
